- In the early 20th century there was a flourishing amusement park in Hamilton, NJ called White City Park. Inspired by the first amusement park boom, White City Park drew thousands of spectators a year from 1907 through 1922. There's not much left of the old park today but in this episode of Destination Anywhere, we explore the history of this forgotten treasure.
